Not long in the future we'll have "Systemd Linux".

It can reasonably be argued that Systemd is a very substantial chunk of what the operating system actually is.

The kernel has a very focused job to do. The hard work of running the show on top of the kernel - and it's a big job - is done by Systemd.

And it's awesome I love Systemd. If you dislike Systemde I can only imagine you haven't really taken the time to learn it and use it properly.

		I have seen a lot of Systemd presentations, for much more than a decade. None of them has included even the slightest reason why I would want to use it, and on my computers, desktops, laptops, mini-PCs and servers, I have run only Linux or FreeBSD since about 23 years ago, when I have reformatted my last HDD containing a Windows installation, so I have a lot of experience with Linux. One time, already a few years after Systemd had become mainstream and it was supposed that its early bugs had been fixed, I have tried to use Systemd for a month, thinking that the criticisms that I had heard about Systemd might have been exaggerated. However, I encountered then a bug myself, which was severe enough to convince me that I cannot trust the Systemd developers, so I never used it again.

We basically have it already. And we are all better off for it with software actually working as intended, without maintainers having to make heroic efforts of porting programs.
